Bollywood for Hollywood Diversity

Associated Campaign

The Experience

BollyX is a Bollywood-inspired dance fitness program that cycles between higher and lower intensity dance sequences to get you moving and sweating. We will fight for more diversity and racial/gender equality in Hollywood by getting our Bollywood dance workout on!

We’ll start off with a fun warm-up that serves as an ice breaker for us to get to know one another. Then we’ll kick off the Bollywood dance party by going through a series of led movements to a playlist of upbeat and fun songs from Bollywood movies.

Near the end of class, we will learn a short choreography to a Bollywood song

We’ll conclude and celebrate our triumphs by taking photos and sharing our experiences of the day.

What We'll Do

About The Host

Richa Shukla

My name is Richa shukla, and I am an actress and dancer in Los Angeles. I have been professionally performing/teaching Bollywood dancing for over 15 years, and I am passionate about sharing some of the best parts of my Indian culture with my fellow Americans. Being an actress/dancer of South Asian descent, I have faced many challenges that all minorities deal with in Hollywood. That is why it is so important to me to stand up for increasing more opportunities for diversity in this industry. I believe that there is so much talent and cultural richness to be discovered if more more doors are opened for women and people of diverse backgrounds, both in front of and behind the camera. I believe that when people of different backgrounds and experiences are given a voice in the media, the world will become a more unified, peaceful and culturally aware place.
